Someone sees you coming! Mine are only 450 Baht and that is for triple XL.

October 15th 1987, a Wednesday night as I remember?

Farage is a protest vote, something that needed to happen. Reform have a lot of work to do to prove themselves, and 4 years is not a long time. They are in a position of trial in 10 local councils. All of them will be required to show real improvements, for the party to be accepted as a credible alternative to both Labour and Conservative.

I have to ask. A man collapses due to heat exhaustion but there is no drinkable water available. However, there are two bottles of Leo. Unfortunately it is 3pm.........?

Chinese anyone?

Wallis and Gromit have more sense than this dumb nutter. If he had the brains of a rocking horse, he would still be stupid. He and the other nutcase Reeves, have wrecked the UK economy between them.

The US of A is a big country with 50 states, but to refer to it as united is a bit over the top, to say the least. Laws on just about everything differ from one state to the next. Its like trying to nail jelly to a tree. Yeah, so it a great country, but like so many others, it has its fair share of nutters. Something to upset a few. I count my luck stars I have never been there, and to be honest, really don't ever want to.

"as you get older things start to grow on your body....." I wish that were true!😉

Just what has he been doing in coming to that conclusion!?

"The officials demanded a fine of 300,000 baht, allegedly paid in a bathroom, a detail that has raised suspicions of illegality." Just a tad suspicious, but nothing to worry about. Perhaps the customs officer needed a pee!?🤗

Sorry lordgrinz. I made a mistake, but have corrected it. 8%, as the previous government reduced it early last year I believe.

Whichever Thai bank you use, if you phone the head office, NOT the local bank, you can ALWAYS talk to someone in English.

My correction here. I am reliably informed it is 8%. it was reduced by the previous government.

Please remind me, when have any successive UK governments had any savvy?

I believe the UK is now 18%. Even more of a Ponzi scheme.

It would be automatically updated from the day of arrival if the UK DWP were informed of the move.

Anyone earning over £12,570 in the UK, be it pension or from work, WILL pay tax to the UK government. Because this guy lives in Thailand does not exempt him from that fact. I could be a few hundred per month better off is such were the case. I would suggest you amend your post to make that clear.

Personally I wouldn't use a Thai lawyer to write my will. I walked away from two, who insisted they had to be the executor. I might be cabbage looking, but I'm not green. There is no reason you cannot write your own Will, and have it witnessed. Just ensure the bank books are not given to the police, no matter what they threaten.

How prescient!

A double Decker bus stood at its departure point, then loaded with passengers is a harmless entity. Then a driver sits himself behind the steering wheel and starts the engine. The double Decker has now become a vehicle of MASS DESTRUCTION!

And therein lies the problem. It is most definitely a country wide problem, not local to Bangkok. But, if you feel the need to spread the disease?

No doubt it will be set off between 3 and 5am. "Now hear this. Now hear this. This is your Captain speaking. I suggest you get your emergency kit and head for the hills." Won't apply to me. My phone shuts down at 10pm until 8am. I hate it when my beauty sleep is interrupted!

Only in Bangkok! How long will it take to get around to the remainder of the country? Just another law to be ignored no doubt!?

"How expensive could a child's uniform be anyways?" Think of a family of 4/5! 3 kids uniforms on B400/day income, can be expensive.

I sympathies. It now takes longer to drive to the immigration office, since they moved, than it does to check the paperwork and have the passport stamped. 15 minutes tops from being called to the desk, everything checked and passport being handed back. I leave and then don't bother for another year.
